Sel'ge Lust, am frühen Tag Tief im Waldesgrund zu lauschen! Nah und fern das süße Rauschen, Waldesduft und Amselschlag! Wald, du grüner Freudensaal, Sei gegrüßt viel tausendmal! Was ich drauß' verloren hab', Giebst du tausendfältig wieder; Frischen Muth und neue Lieder Rauscht mir jeder Zweig herab. Wald, du grüner Freudensaal, Sei gegrüßt viel tausendmal! Lieber Wald, nimm's freundlich an, Daß ich dir von Herzen danke. Ob auch alles weich' und wanke, Treu bleibt dir der Sängersmann. Wald, du grüner Freudensaal, Sei gegrüßt viel tausendmal!
Confirmed with Gedichte von Carl Gärtner, Breslau: Verlag von F.E.C. Leuckart (Constantin Sander), 1862, pages 30-31.

Blissful joy, in the early morning To listen in the depths of the forest! Far and near the sweet soughing, Forest scent and blackbird call! Forest, you green hall of gladness, Be greeted many thousand times! What I lost outside your realm, You return to me a thousandfold; Fresh courage and new songs Are soughed down to me by every branch. Forest, you green hall of gladness, Be greeted many thousand times! Dear forest, accept it happily That I thank you with all my heart. Though everything should give way and totter, Your singer shall remain true to you. Forest, you green hall of gladness, Be greeted many thousand times!
